The Lady Panthers defeated their Star Valley counterparts three times last season, the first time the PHS girl’s team has beaten the Lady Braves three times in a season since 1998-99. The boys varsity team defeated Powell three out of four times last season with the last meeting in the 3A 3rd place game in Casper.

Linda Taylor, of Etna, has been named as a semi-finalist in the 2014 American Quilter’s Society Quilt Week International Quilting Competition. The competition takes place April 23-26 in Padacah, Ky.

According to AQS, quilts were entered from 41 states and 10 countries. Three quilting authorities will judge the entries, awarding first, second and third place prizes in 16 categories, along with nine overall awards.

Winners will be announced at the 30th AQS Anniversary Celebration on Tuesday, April 22. Cash awards totaling $125,000 will be presented.

Taylor will display a quilt titled “Greg’s Song.” It will be one of 405 quilts showcased in the annual contest.

“For 30 years, quilters from across the U.S. and around the world have shared their quilts in the AQS Quilt Contest to make Paducah, Kentucky, the home of the finest exhibit of quilts as fiber art,” said AQS Founder and President Meredith Schroeder. “Today’s quilters continue to push the boundaries through techniques used, exploration of materials, and letting their creativity soar.”

Traffic can be very heavy on much of the two-lane road on U.S. 89 through Star Valley during the summer months. The Wyoming Department of Transportation would like to meet with residents for their input on future projects.
